Frodo and Sam are so embarrassing sometimes; their idea of flirting is to huddle together in the middle of a dark stairwell below a spider’s cave and pretend to quote random people in the future who will be saying complimentary things like “Frodo was very brave wasn’t he, the famousest of all hobbits” and “I want to hear more about Sam, why didn’t they put in more of his talk, that’s what I like, it makes me laugh.” Like come on sweeties, you can just simply say “Frodo you’re so brave” and “Sam you make me laugh”. You two are making this needlessly complicated.

Icarus and Helios, a Dirk Gently AU 💛

(Sorry for the poor English)

In the 80s, in Romania, a baby was born with wings, making him look like a cherub. Since he was an orphan, he was taken (abducted) by the CIA at the age of 4 to be studied as some very unique phenomenon. Turned out that there was more kids born with strange anomalies this year so they created a secret CIA division called BlackWing (in reference to that first boy dark wings) to study all those “anomalous entities” and potentially use them.

The Romanian kid was called “Project Icarus” and for decades they tried to teach him to fly. But so far he was more prone to fall than to actually fly (hence the name Icarus).

Generally, the anomalous entities were tested separately and never met, to avoid any problems (some of them having dangerous abilities). They were all locked into an underground facility where there was rooms to study, to be tested on, or train their abilities… Some areas being dedicated to some of the most dangerous entities with bigger security and surveillance.

One day around his 30s, Project Icarus heard someone trying to talk through the ventilation of his room. A person was now occupying the fire proof room which was opposite of his.

That new occupant, “project Helios”, had recently arrived in that area of the BlackWing’s facility bc his ability of creating and manipulating fire was becoming too hard to control and the division just locked him in the best fire proof room they had..

The two men started to communicate regularly through the vent line connecting their rooms and slowly built a strong relationship (they were each other’s first friend).

Ofc they were closely observed the whole time by BlackWing, which decided to have them meet in person. The only condition being that Project Icarus had to fly if he wanted to see his friend more often.

They soon realised that Project Helios could control himself better when in the presence of his friend and radiated intense warmth which was actually helping Project Icarus to hover in the air long enough to manage to fly.

So they decided to keep the duo together, their compatibility being undeniable.

After a few months of training them together, they finally let them out of the BlackWing facility to work for the CIA. So they could help the BW division find and catch other anomalous entities that were starting to be more numerous and out of control.

They gave them new names, Project Icarus became Dirk Gently (he insisted for the last name) and Project Helios became Todd Brotzman…

So I’ve been doing a bit of digging into the patches on Todd’s jacket (pictured below) in search of references.

Whilst most of my search has been fruitless, I have learned that Hippiecritz (the patch between the buttons at the front) and Crowd the Joanna (the bottom left front patch) are both very real punk bands based out of Canada! A bit of Facebook stalking allowed me to track down the designs on Todd’s jacket.

From Crowd the Joanna:

From Hippiecritz (the image isn’t great, but it’s the best I could find on their Facebook):

Also from Hippiecritz:

Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any origin for the Loose Nuke, Headless Hog, CU (?),or Dime and Back patches. I do know that one of the pins on the chest pocket is from Alien Ant Farm, but that is the only other actual band outside of the ones specified in the post that I know appears on his jacket.

On the brighter side of things — Crowd the Joanna/Hippiecritz are aware that they appeared on Dirk Gently!

Everything truly is connected. 💙

Doctor Who season 4 is so delightful because you can tell that The Doctor, on occasion, straight up forgets that he's sad and burned because he's busy being in a sci-fi buddy comedy. And then something will remind him and he'll be like oh! I'm sad and burdened! And Donnas almost always there to be like 'hi sad and burdened. I'm Donna' and he has a completely proportional reaction like 'i would die a thousand deaths for you'.

Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate it. 💙💙💙

I’m new here, but I’ve been feeling a bit crazy lately and as such I’ve been wanting to recreate Todd’s “cool guy” jacket from Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. I’ve pulled the reference pictures from the auction, but does anybody happen to have good reference pictures for the patches on the jacket sleeves or the pins on the lapels? I would take some from a rewatch but my DVD player is only capable of playing video at a resolution of approximately 3x3 pixels, LOL. Thank you!
